 Car and Driver - Panoz Esperante - October 2000
Panoz is aiming for a more classic sports-car experience and succeeds in part with a lower driving position, a compact three-spoke steering wheel that neatly conceals its airbag, and two pontoon fenders that bracket the view out the windshield.
The Panoz shows promise of maturing into a shapely, competent roadster, and Danny Panoz promises the first buyers will be able to unload their extra $81,961 on one by this fall, once he obtains tops and bodies for the 100 or so completed chassis sitting in his factory.
Throttle response is lustier in the Panoz, and it trounces the Mustang Cobra and the Mangusta in acceleration and braking.

 The Cadillac Story
The Series 355-D Cadillac V-8's and Series 370-D twelves were identical in appearance with pontoon fenders, wide V-type grilles set backat a dashing angle and huge, bullet-shaped headlights mounted high up on each side of the radiator shell.
Series 70 and 75 and 85 models had much smaller hood with four small horizontal trim pieces.
The 1934 Cadillac were the first in the industry to banish the spare tire out of sight and into the trunk, although side-mounted spares were still available for those who preferred them.

Cadillac was beginning to blossom forth with some exciting two-tone color combinations, wich especially suited the Sixty Special's disinctive upper and lower body shapes.
The V-16 Cadillac was renamed the Series 90, a designation that would remain until the V-16 was discontinued in 1940.

 Blackhawk Auto Exhibition: 1937 Cord
The 810/812 design was a radical styling departure characterized by a massive coffin-nosed hood with an integrated wrap-around grille/louver assembly, pontoon front fenders, the first disappearing headlamps (retracted by hand-crank and cable-operated worm-and-sector mechanisms), center hinged doors and lower body sills that eliminated running boards.
The second generation of front-wheel-drive Cords, the 1936 Model 810 and 1937 Model 812, were designed by Gordon M. Buehrig, who also designed the 1935 Auburn product line — including the “Boattail Speedster” — as well as custom bodies for Model J Duesenbergs.
In June, 1937, race driver Ab Jenkins established a 24-hours-from-standing-start record by driving a Cord Beverly Sedan at an average speed of 79.6 mph at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

In America, automobile designers borrowed features for their cars that were normally found on aircraft and ships, including tailfins and portholes.

 Carrozzeria Scaglietti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The company's 1958 250 Testa Rossa, with its Formula One -inspired pontoon fenders, is one of the most famous designs of the time.
Scaglietti is credited with the "headrest" bump present on most racing Ferraris of the 1950s and 1960s, a design at first despised by Enzo but championed by Dino.
Scaglietti gained Enzo Ferrari 's trust and respect both through his bodywork and design skills and for providing a retreat for Dino Ferrari as a youth.

 Ferrari 330 TRI/LM Testa Rossa
The first 1958 cars had deDion rear suspension, left-hand drive and were bodied by Scaglietti with pontoon fenders.
The Testa Rossa was already a racing success when it was introduced and it went on to a string of victories that are simply too numerous to describe in anything less than a book, of which several have been written.
Only one race was won by a Scuderia Ferrari Testa Rossa which was not driven by either Phil Hill or Olivier Gendebien, the Bandini/Scarfiotti victory in the Pescara 12 Hours in 1961.
